sorry I don't understand this - But there are slim prospects of the police being able to build a case against the two Filipinos as both of them left Japan after the murder. So, if I kill someone in Japan and leave the country police will not be able to build a case against me? food for thought...

Always easier to blame your actions on those around you, or so says Mori's defense team. Don't blame kidnapping, rape, and murder on those involved, blame it on peer pressure (sarcasm).

Building a case against the two missing Filipinos? You know their names. They were in Japan legally. There is no record of their passports being scanned leaving Japan? What flight and destination? Certainly if pursued on a local to local level, you'll get little to no help from police in PH, but escalate the issue thru diplomatic channels.

Although when you have the PH President making past jokes about how gang rapists should let him "go first" when brutalizing a British woman, maybe hope is lost on justice.

"a DNA sample almost matching that of the defendant"... What does this mean? "Every individual has a unique DNA code that no-one else possesses and because of this reason there is not a chance in receiving an inaccurate result, except in cases where contamination may have occurred. If contamination has taken place, the results obtained would be inconclusive..." and thus presumably excluded as evidence?

C'mon, what the foul-mouthed PH President said and the actual law-enforcement of the Philippines has no correlation in both spirit and letter of the law of that land. Japan and The Philippines has no extradition treaty signed, and this case is legislative in nature as it crosses Constitutional boundaries . Those 2 murder accomplices are not difficult to track in PH but bilateral agreements must be in place.
